In the photo, Sooyoung stands by a window while sporting a short haircut and a boy’s school uniform. With her sultry eyes lowered towards the book she is reading, she radiates a masculine energy.

The singer’s Korean and international fans reacted positively to the photo of her boyish new look, which has received over 179,000 “likes,” with the following remarks: “Not a sister but a brother!”, “Cute,” “You look good,” “Handsome and cute,” “Really cool!” and so on.

The following day, Sooyoung uploaded a series of selfies taken in front of Rome’s Trevi Fountain. In these picture, Sooyoung kisses a coin and appears imbued with happy energy as she makes a silent prayer. Her comical appearance as she tosses the coin into the fountain is amusing and endearing.
